Sixteen-year-old Stevi Powers thinks she's over weight when her best friend, Mona, taunts her because last year's gym suit won't fit anymore. Determined to prove her friend wrong, she squeezes into the suit anyway-to disastrous results! Her suit splits-in front of Ari, the boy Stevi likes, and the rest of the gym class. Humiliated, a determined Stevi searches for a way to lose weight. To make matters worse, Dad loses his job, and Stevi needs to find a job to help her family. Watermelon in a Cucumber Patch highlights Stevi's struggle with peer pressure, self-esteem and a stubborn weight problem in her search for a way to feel good about herself. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, Watermelon in a Cucumber Patch is a blueprint to help teenagers learn how to raise their self-esteem. Stevi has a weight problem, but you could substitute your problem for hers. You can learn through Stevi's trials, how to accept yourself as you are now, then when you're ready, how to move on, and become the person you want to be.
